Biggest issue I have with them is that they don't support Drag and Drop.

For example with Groove Music and Movie player, I can't drag and drop a folder with music or videos to them to add to a playlist. To me this is a step backwards.

Other than that I do believe they improved a lot since windows 8 and they are much more functional.

Just to clarify, not having Drag and Drop is not an API limitation (see [1]). Rather, they haven't implemented it yet in every place you'd expect to see it.

thanks for this. till now I thought it was an API limitation.

I also remember reading somewhere that the problem exists only when drag and drop is done between modern apps and win32 apps.
